UTAH CORE STATE STANDARDS for MATHEMATICS

„ „ Standard K.MP.7 Look for and make use of structure. Recognize and apply the struc tures of mathematics, such as patterns, place value, the properties of operations, or the flexibility of numbers. See complicated things as single objects or as being composed of several objects. „ „ Standard K.MP.8 L ook for and express regularity in repeated reasoning. Notice repeti tions in mathematics when solving multiple related problems. Use observations and reasoning to find shortcuts or generalizations. Evaluate the reasonableness of intermedi ate results. Strand: COUNTING AND CARDINALITY (K.CC) Know number names and the counting sequence (Standards K.CC.1–3). Count to tell the number of objects (Standards K.CC. 4–5). Identify and compare quantities of objects and nu merals (Standards K.CC.6–7) . „ „ Standard K.CC.1. Count to 100 by ones and by tens. „ „ Standard K.CC.2. Count forward beginning from a given number within the known se quence (instead of having to begin at 1). „ „ Standard K.CC.3. Read and write numbers using base ten numerals from 0 to 20. Represent a number of objects with a written numeral, in or out of sequence (0 repre sents a count of no objects). „ „ Standard K.CC.4. Understand the relationship between numbers and quantities; connect counting to cardinality. a. When counting objects, say the numbers in the standard order. Pair each quantity of objects with one and only one number and each number with the correct quantity of objects. b. Understand that the last number said represents the number of objects counted. The number of objects is the same regardless of their arrangement or the order in which they were counted. c. Understand that each successive number refers to a quantity that is one greater than the previous number. „ „ Standard K.CC.5. Use counting to answer questions about “how many.” For example, 20 or fewer objects arranged in a line, a rectangular array, or circle; 10 or fewer objects in a scat tered configuration. Using a number from 1–20, count out that many objects. „ „ Standard K.CC.6. Use matching or counting strategies to identify whether the number of objects in one group is greater than, less than, or equal to the number of objects in another group. Include groups with up to ten objects. „ „ Standard K.CC.7. Compare two numbers between 1 and 10 presented as written numer als using “greater than,” “less than,” or “equal to.”
